We performed a comparison between Linode and Secureworks Taegis ManagedXDR based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Microsoft, Amazon Web Services (AWS), Oracle and others in Infrastructure as a Service Clouds (IaaS)."The virtual machine configuration tool is very helpful for setting up a new server or for modifying an existing server."
"The ability to fire up a virtual machine, use it, and then kill it, is quite a valuable feature for me."
"Generally speaking, I have not found any faults using Linode. For what we wanted, they provided a complete solution."
"They have a very nice web interface to allow you to manage and reorganize your server."
"The most valuable features are the simple scalability and ease of starting a new virtual machine."
"Service availability is the most valuable feature. It gives every user 100 percent uptime."
"When I started using Linode, I found its functionality easy to navigate, user-friendly and responsive to my needs. It provides clear reminders about services I'm not using, like DNS zones, which I appreciate."
"It is also important that Linode offers worldwide coverage via multiple data centers. The ability to deploy on multiple servers, worldwide, allows us to have distributed services and failover and redundancy."
"The most valuable feature is the support. The support chat. It's always connecting to people. And you open the chat, and it's not about that automated response. It's actually a human being that responds to you."
"The initial setup was very straight forward."
"The pricing is flexible."
"We can easily isolate affected machines in the network."
"We don't have a full SOC, so it's helpful to have them sifting through our alerts and only bringing actionable items to us."
"There are some patent pending detectors within the platform that provides a lot of value."
"This solution gathers the information logs from all devices and correlates all the information. It notifies us of any critical events taking place across our networks which has been valuable."
"The solution definitely made us way more aware of the possibilities out there."
"They are already working on the firewalls and VLANs, which need improvement, and are now in beta. I am on the beta program for the firewalls, but I can't use it yet because they are only in Mumbai and Australia, and I am not in those data centres. This is the one thing that I have been waiting for almost since the day that I joined them, so it is nice that they are doing that. The VLANs will be an improvement as well, and I am keen and waiting for that."
"One thing that I'd really like to see is auto-scaling node pools for their Kubernetes. I don't think that they have that. That's a huge one and would be very helpful. Specifically, what I would like is auto-scaling node pools that would scale down to zero nodes, which is tricky. That's very important for certain use cases."
"They don't have role-based access control, which is problematic for us."
"I've had some difficulties with some of their IP addresses being banned by certain mail servers."
"When it comes to marketing and exposure, Linode needs improvement because I just randomly found them by looking for Linux solutions."
"The product must improve its security."
"The only improvement in this aspect of the service which I can think of is perhaps a pool of developers who could be hired for those cases where the need goes beyond the support offered."
"I would like to see more seamless integration with backup, although it's pretty easy to do."
"Tamper-proofing or tamper protection is still pending in Secureworks. Tamper protection will make it more secure. If I'm an admin of a device, I can uninstall an agent without the knowledge of the security or Secureworks admin. If someone gets hold of one endpoint with admin credentials, he can remove anything, and an organization will lose visibility. They need to work on providing more visibility across endpoints. A couple of times it has happened that the cloak agent is there, but it did not get activated, or there were some issues. The machine was restarted, but the cloak agent didn't run. In such cases, you have to troubleshoot. It is a big issue if a cyber attack is happening, and your machine is rebooted, but the events are not captured."
"It would be nice if the solution were a little more affordable."
"Dell Secureworks could improve its integration with other third-party solutions."
"This solution could be improved with a higher degree of automation such as automated emails, triggers and defining the severity of the cases."
"The deployment could definitely be improved."
"The integration would look better with other products, with other EDRs, with other firewalls, with other older versions of firewalls, and the versions of software and hardware."
"We did a PoC of their next-gen antivirus product, but it wasn't ready yet. It was underdeveloped and caused a lot of issues. We'd like to move away from Carbon Black, but they said that it's probably still not to a point where we'd be happy with it. Carbon Black and RedCloak seem to work fine for us."
"Dell Secureworks is for higher-end customers and it's not quite as straightforward to implement or to get up and running as some of the other solutions."
